Chapter 384



“Lord Marquis, Prefectural Prince Huai requests a meeting! He… He said that Eldest Young Master…” The lad servant rushed over and reported anxiously.

“When did this happen?” Wei Luowen’s expression changed, and he hurriedly reached out his hand to stop the lad servant.

“Just now. It was very urgent!” When the lad servant saw the young ladies who came out with Wei Luowen, he realized that he had misspoken and quickly muttered vaguely.

Wei Luowen nodded and turned to look at Wei Yuewu behind him. His expression eased a little. “Yuewu, you go back first. When your grandmother gives me the list of your mother’s dowry, I’ll get someone to find your mother’s things and give them back to you.”

“Thank you, Father!” Wei Yuewu nodded and retreated to the side, looking at the lad servant thoughtfully.

She had heard from Shufei about Wei Ziyang’s stay at Prefectural Prince Huai Mansion. Did something happen? Judging from the lad servant’s expression, she figured that the problem was quite serious.

“Father!” Wei Yuejiao cried out in grievance, but all she got was Wei Luowen’s cold glare.

“Spend more time learning about the rules and manners. You’re not a child anymore!” After the indifferent statement, Wei Luowen hurriedly left with the lad servant.

Only Wei Yuewu, Wei Yuejiao, and Wei Qiufu were left at the door.

“Wei Qiufu, what’s wrong with you today?!” Since there was no one around this time, Wei Yuejiao angrily turned around to Wei Qiufu.

“Third Elder Sister, you should be careful of your wound!” Wei Qiufu had done what she could regarding Wei Yuewu’s request. Then, she smiled at Wei Yuejiao, flung her sleeves, and left nonchalantly.

“You… you…” Wei Yuejiao was so angry that she was dizzy. She also realized that all of this happened because of Wei Qiufu’s inexplicable visit. Wei Qiufu came to her room and framed her. Then, she was scolded by Grandmother, and even implicated Wei Yuewu’s biological mother in this. All of this was caused by Wei Qiufu visiting her out of the blue.

However, she did not dare to be too presumptuous. She looked at the surrounding environment and glared at Wei Yuewu fiercely. Without a word, she rushed to Concubine Dong’s courtyard with her two frightened maids.

She was going to tell Concubine Dong about Wei Qiufu who deliberately framed her. She hoped that Concubine Dong could avenge her grievance.

Wei Qiufu was from the most unremarkable third branch. Could they overturn the heavens?

Then, Wei Yuewu was left alone. Watching Wei Qiufu and Wei Yuejiao go their separate ways, she curled her lips into a smile, but she did not leave.

Sure enough, Nanny Hong came out from inside, walked to Wei Yuewu’s side, and said with a smile, “Sixth Young Lady, Madam Dowager is inviting you to go in again.”

“Okay!” Wei Yuewu smiled and nodded indifferently. Then, she followed Nanny Hong into the inner room again.

Of course, Madam Dowager was reluctant to give up all of her mother’s dowry. She was going to persuade her!

Inside the room, Madam Dowager was lying in the bed, looking paler and more haggard. Upon seeing Wei Yuewu enter the room, she waved her hand slightly to indicate that she should sit down on a chair.

“Sixth Young Lady, Madam Dowager asks you to take a seat!” Nanny Hong smiled and stepped forward.

“Never mind. I’ll just stand.” Wei Yuewu’s face was full of respect and timidness as if she did not know what Madam Dowager was thinking.

“Sixth Young Lady, Madam Dowager has had a hard time processing all of this. In the past, she thought that Second Young Lady was a good person, so she had been raising her carefully, but in the end… Then, she saw that Third Young Lady was good, but you witnessed what happened yourself. She burned Madam Dowager’s small kitchen. As for Fourth Young Lady, who knows what she will turn out to be!”

Seeing that Wei Yuewu had no intention of sitting, Nanny Hong did not insist and just sighed.

On the bed, Madam Dowager moved slightly and turned inside, looking as if she was very sad and dejected.

“Yes, Grandmother has worked hard,” Wei Yuewu said softly.

“Madam Dowager indeed has worked hard. For so many years, the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang has never had an official female Master. In the past, when Marquise Hua Yang was around, Madam Dowager had a few years of happiness and leisure. Marquise Hua Yang was so young, but no one would have expected that she would…” Nanny Hong wiped away her tears and peeked at Wei Yuewu.

Wei Yuewu lowered her head sorrowfully. It was obvious that she also thought of her biological mother.

“Lord Marquis insisted on marrying Marquise Hua Yang. Madam Dowager did not agree to their nuptial at first, but later on, she treated Marquise Hua Yang very well. Later, when Marquise Hua Yang was critically ill, she requested to see Madam Dowager on her sickbed and entrusted you to her. At that time, Madam Dowager was very sad and urged her to take good care of herself!”

The more Nanny Hong “illustrated” the story, the more emotional she became. She took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. Although Madam Dowager did not speak, Wei Yuewu could see that she moved her handkerchief as if she was wiping her tears too.

Wei Yuewu sneered. Madam Dowager and Concubine Dong were indeed a pair of ideal superior-subordinate. Concubine Dong had told her that her mother called her on her sickbed and entrusted the hairpins to her, asking her to keep them for her and Wei Yuejiao. To Wei Yuewu’s surprise, Madam Dowager used the same reason, but her tricks seemed smoother and more versatile.

It was not hard to guess what Nanny Hong and Madam Dowager would say or do next.

Her long eyelashes flickered, and she hid the coldness in her eyes. At this moment, she lowered her head and remained silent. She wanted to see how shameless Madam Dowager could be.

Sure enough, Nanny Hong brought them back to the main topic in her next remarks.

“At that time, Marquise Hua Yang entrusted her personal belongings and you to Madam Dowager. After that, when Marquise Hua Yang passed away, Madam Dowager took care of you diligently. She would try to satisfy all your needs and desires. When you were young, you didn’t understand the value of things and broke many of Marquise Hua Yang’s things. Madam Dowager used her own money to replace all the things that you broke.”

Since Wei Yuewu kept her head down all the time, Nanny Hong thought that she was moved by her words, so she continued saying her story according to Madam Dowager’s wish.

Seeing that Wei Yuewu was standing there without any reaction, Nanny Hong presumed that she was resentful that they sent her to her maternal grandparents’ family, so Nanny Hong continued, reciting the script Madam Dowager had drafted earlier, “If it weren’t for the fact that something happened to you, Madam Dowager would never have agreed to send you back to your maternal grandparents’ place. This was actually because of the servants’ negligence. Because of this matter, Madam Dowager even fell ill for a long time!”

Nanny Hong sighed again and looked at Wei Yuewu. The lack of response agitated Nanny Hong, and she couldn’t help but look at Madam Dowager on the bed nervously. Did she not make her points clear?

“Sixth Young Lady, Madam Dowager has always loved you and wants to return Marquise Hua Yang’s things to you. It’s just that for so many years, you’ve destroyed many of the things when you were young, and some have suffered some damage. I’m afraid that we can’t return the things according to the list of dowry from back then!”

Nanny Hong cleared her throat and raised her voice in case Wei Yuewu couldn’t hear her.

Wei Yuewu narrowed her eyes slightly. Sure enough, Madam Dowager was shameless to the point of refusing to return her mother’s things!

She looked up slightly and noticed that although Madam Dowager, who was on the bed, turned to the inside, her body was facing to the outside slightly, and her head was too far behind. It was obvious that she was secretly observing her reaction from the bed.

“Nanny Hong… I don’t know any of this. How about you come with me and explain it to my father?” The confused Wei Yuewu looked at Madam Dowager blankly, then at Nanny Hong, as if she really did not understand what Nanny Hong meant.

Her remarks made Nanny Hong cough violently. She would’ve gone to Lord Marquis if she could. Moreover, Sixth Young Lady didn’t remember anything since she was a child back then, but Lord Marquis was not a child, and he certainly knew that Sixth Young Lady didn’t break anything back then.

“Sixth Young Lady…” Nanny Hong felt that she needed to explain the situation more clearly. Madam Dowager’s meaning was very clear. It was impossible to return everything. Although Marquise Hua Yang’s family background was not prominent, her dowry was very unique, and it was not only prepared by her family.

The extra things in this part of the dowry were more valuable. Madam Dowager speculated that a part of the dowry was supposed to belong to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, but they were brought into the mansion along with Marquise Hua Yang’s dowry. Back then, such things that were supposed to be possessed by the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang would be mixed in the dowry and sent into the mansion together with whichever young lady who married into the mansion.

Therefore, these things were not just Marquise Hua Yang’s dowry!

However, they were listed on Marquise Hua Yang’s dowry list.

Gold had a price, but the shops were priceless. Of course, she did not dare to take forcible possession of the shops that were not supposed to be on Qin Xinrui’s dowry list. However, for so many years, she and Concubine Dong had managed Qin Xinrui’s shops, so she should get all the earnings and revenue. Why should she return the money to Wei Yuewu?

These things belonged to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. She wanted to leave this inheritance to her future generations.

“Grandmother, just now, Prefectural Prince Huai sent someone to look for Father and said that Eldest Brother asked to see him. Then, Father left in a hurry with his men. I wonder what it is.”

Wei Yuewu directly interrupted Nanny Hong.

She sneered in her heart. For the sake of some wealth, Madam Dowager didn’t care about her reputation and dignity. She wanted to force her to agree with what she said.

If she agreed, Madam Dowager could justifiably return fewer things that were on the dowry list, and Father couldn’t say anything about it.

Wei Yuewu believed that Madam Dowager would give her the things that she didn’t want as long as she agreed to her terms. She had never seen such a shameless person who would force her young granddaughter.

“What? Something happened to Ziyang?” Madam Dowager suddenly sat up and asked in surprise.

“Yes, Father left in a hurry and didn’t let us know anything about what happened!” Wei Yuewu nodded.

“Nanny Hong, hurry… help me up. I want to go and take a look!” When she heard that something had happened to her beloved grandson, whom she had high hopes for, Madam Dowager became anxious and jittery. At this moment, she didn’t care about Wei Yuewu. She held the edge of the bed and wanted to get up.

When Nanny Hong saw this, she couldn’t be bothered to talk to Wei Yuewu as planned. She hurriedly came over and helped Madam Dowager up as she heaved, “Madam Dowager, please slow down. Please be careful!”

“Grandmother, I’ll go back first!” Wei Yuewu greeted amidst the chaotic scene.

Madam Dowager waved at her. She didn’t have the time to talk with Wei Yuewu and she just kicked her out of the room without saying anything. No matter what, she would keep those shops even if Wei Yuewu didn’t agree.

How dare that little brat snatch the things off her hand…

Seeing Madam Dowager leave, Wei Yuewu walked out of the room with Jin Ling leisurely. As soon as they came out of Tranquility Courtyard, Shufei, who had been waiting beside the small road outside, hurriedly greeted Wei Yuewu and lowered her voice, “Miss, I saw that woman!”
